Canadian Petroleum History Bibliography
by Doug Cass

Introduction

This bibliography was created over several years as an aid to a variety of PHS projects as
well as my work at the Glenbow Archives. It aims to include all publications and
audiovisual products from the Social Sciences and Humanities. Most government
documents are excluded as they are accessible through Library and Archives Canada. I
would like to thank my PHS colleagues for their contributions and suggestions, including
David Finch, Peter McKenzie-Brown, Clint Tippett, Peter Savage, Micky Gulless, Frank
Dabbs, Aubrey Kerr and Jack Porter. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance of
Calgary book dealers, Cameron Treleaven and Tom Williams and former Oilweek editor
Gordon Jaremko. Historians David Breen and Robert Page also provided important
references. Any bibliography such as this is never complete and I would welcome any
items that can be added.
